Op dit moment zijn er meerdere projecten zonder BCT thread, omdat ze de tientallen spam accounts niet kunnen blocken.
Het is juist andersom: veel ANN threads betalen spammers om de thread te bumpen. Daar betalen ze duizenden dollars voor. Als je geen spam wil, kan je een self-moderated thread maken. Zo doe ik het ook: self-moderaten. Alleen denk ik zelden aan het bestaan van die mogelijkheid... Veel van de members beperken zich bovendien tot het lezen van de OP (en soms - met heel veel geluk - misschien de meeste recente post in de thread) waardoor er eigenlijk nooit een discussie van komt, maar gewoon een samenraapsel van uitingen van meningen, waarvan de ene nog minder boeiend is dan de andere...  Dat vind ik dus echt hemeltergend. |

Absolutely sir, I have been trying hard to capture the heart and the mind of so many veteran members of bitcointalk to get at least 1 merit ( I could jump high celebrating from where I am standing right now seeing a merit in my account) for all the replies, quotes and post I am doing. But life's too hard for it. I thought I should pass over a needle hole before I could get at least 1 merit. Too bad but I am still hoping and never giving up finding 1 kind heart veteran.
Allow me to be very pretentious by quoting myself, whilst giving you some valuable advice: Don't wanna sound all mellow but I think the idea of contributing positively to the quality of the forum, is already a reward on its own. In return, you get quality threads and quality replies from other members. That's at least how it's supposed to be: getting rid of all those useless spam replies.
Gaining Merit, thus gaining other members' respect, as well as receiving higher bounties, makes that reward even more worth the effort. But if receiving Merits to get higher bounties is your only purpose, you're condemned to leading a very bitter life, my OP friend, cuz you'll be searching so desperately to write something down that's been done before anyway, that you'll be making a complete fool of yourself. And just in case this still wasn't clear enough, let me say it in another way: If you would jump high celebrating for a Merit, you don't need to get Merit. You need to get a life, man. Or sir. |

If people gain Merit, they all have the liberty to decide what to do with it.
That includes our right to try to keep sMerits away from the Twitbook bounty hunters. Absolutely. |

In addition to activity, everyone now has a merit score, and you need both a certain activity level and a certain merit score in order to reach higher member ranks. The required scores are:
(...)
I am especially eager to have merit sources in sub-communities such as the local sections.
I have started a thread in the Dutch local section, two months ago. I've still got sMerit to give... https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3494821.0Some say there's a problem with people not willing to give sMerits. Seeing that after several weeks, I still haven't given out all of my sMerits in the Dutch section, I'd rather think there's a problem with people not willing to RECEIVE Merits...    Kinda agree with you mate. people are asking too much when they do not deserve even a single merit from their posts, it is like they are just want everything to be easy for themself. Kinda hate this kind of guys and the worst is they do not even know that they are not worthy enough. Exactly. This is Merit Begging 2.0. People with sMerits who are begging to give them away. |

Yeah, of course, so we must just change our mindset and don't judge others if they give someone 5 merits for some post we don't agree or think that deserves that, or give merits to the same person if this person is doing a pretty decent job (I say that because sometimes I stop myself of giving merits to one user I've recently merited, just in case, you Know).
Yes. Some people have been acting like Merit Police recently. I am quite sure this is not what Satoshi's spirit would have supported. If people gain Merit, they all have the liberty to decide what to do with it. Every single member has the right to decide for himself which posts deserve his hard-earned sMerits. Sarcastic remarks, statistics, images or not, Merit or decentralization analysis or whatever... In the end, a quite surprising mix of high-Merited members might come out of that... |

Oh me too, I reckon France 1-2 Argentina. Messi is about to explode into this World Cup after a slow start I think.
No Merit for Messi today. |

Is it just me or has handing out Merit become a lot less common place now? I rarely see anybody handing it out now, certainly a lot less than a couple of months ago.
As a Merit Source (I don’t care if people know) I like to look around for good posts & tend to hand out at least 2 a day.
Do we, as a community, need to do more to reward high quality posts, should we be more actively looking to hand out Merit?
I guess when the system was first implemented those who weren’t Merit Sources had more sMerit & naturally would be more likely to hand it out. It’s been a while now though & lots of posters may simply have run out.
There has definitely been a big drop in the amount of posts I see Merited though.
If you still have sMerit do your bit, actively look to reward good posters.
Don't know how you are doing this. But I am indeed actively rewarding people with my modest pile of sMerits. Not just another Merit statistics post or hidden begging, but posts helping other people, or with an interesting "fresh" vision on some debate or subject about crypto. I keep a reserve of 5-10 sMerits for posts I read along the way, and if I go over 10, I try to actively search and reward immediately. I suppose it's different when you're Legendary, but as a lower level members, like me, it would be very dishonest to wish and hope to go up in rank, if you don't reward others either. PS: Argentina vs France livestream here: https://neosportek.blogspot.com/p/world-cup.html  |

7) People will lose the sense to write posts and completely leave the forum
However, I wish this was true. If 90% of the current members were to leave the forum, its content would become 900% more interesting. |

Last time I checked, Merit was very, VERY bad for your health. Don't even know if this brand (I think it was from Philip Morris) still exists. Merit as a path to a world of flavor.  |

lol I love how fiercely this project is protected, when outside of the HATE bubble the projects a big joke  I never said it was a joke, I was only putting up some critical remarks. Some newbies here have a pretty particular way of shilling their coin. I'd rather think they are chasing people away. + masterkarl and Rachel1188 have the same childish style of repeating the opposite of what people are saying. They might be one and the same person. Do the kind people of HAT.exchange have any idea about the insults these guys are spreading on their OP ? |

Just make a calculation of all the time you spend on airdrops, hoping to have at least one which is not a scam, and then calculate how many dollars an hour you've made.
You do that and believe me when I say that you will never participate in an airdrop again.

Ripple is constantly making good partnership and recently made partnership with American express. Ripple is the sleeping giant and in bull run pick ups the rally easily. when bull run will arise ripple have the potential to reach $5 easily till 2018 end.
If you're calling an 18 billion dollar market cap coin "sleeping", you really need to update your trading definitions. |

Eh. If you buy and sell like it's a casino game, it's always for risk takers. In that case, it doesn't matter if it's crypto or stocks you're trading.
If you buy and hold for several years, you're not a risk taker.
In that case, you're a believer.

Hopelijk worden Belgen ook toegelaten in deze discussie Persoonlijk heb ik mijn bedenkingen omtrent het Merit systeem. Nu de personen die jaren en dagen op dit forum aanwezig zijn, hebben al een redelijke voorsprong op de nieuwe boys zoals mezelf. Wat ik al vaak tegenkom, is dat nieuwe accounts met minder dan 10 posts soms al 5 of meer merits hebben. Dan stel ik mij de vraag; Maken die personen zulke geweldige posts of kunnen het subaccounts zijn van de hero's of legend members, die hun merits geven aan hun nieuw account. Dit zou kunnen leiden dat zij 2 accounts hebben en 2 keer kunnen deelnemen aan bounty's met hogere uitbetaling percentage's. Ik snap dat men spam wil voorkomen, maar ik weet niet dat het Merit systeem hiervoor wel geschikt is. Het lijkt mij eerder een corrupt boeltje dat sommige personen machtiger doet lijken dan de rest. Ook creëert het ,volgens mij, teveel personen die gaan smeken naar Merits. Want zeg nou zelf, hoeveel posts zijn er tegenwoordig niet over sMerit en sMerit daar. Dat kun je ook beschouwen als spam natuurlijk. Men zal altijd mensen hebben die weinig nuttige inbreng leveren op fora, ik denk niet dat het Merit systeem dit gaat kunnen tegenhouden. Il n'y a pas de Belges, mon ami. Je bedoelt waarschijnlijk Vlamingen. We zijn allemaal Lagelanders. Ik heb zelf ook nog wat diverse bedenkingen: Ik denk dat we het er allemaal over eens zijn dat spam een ferme pain in the ass was. In die zin was het Merit-systeem zeker goed bedoeld. Ik vind het wel wat absurd dat de hoeveelheid te behalen Merit zwaarder wordt naarmate je level stijgt. Het zou net omgekeerd moeten zijn, aangezien je vanaf een bepaald niveau toch in zekere zin al je kwaliteiten hebt bewezen. Bovendien zijn het gewoon weer extra regeltjes, die m.i. compleet in strijd zijn met Satoshi's libertarische idee, maar daarover heb ik het al tig keer gehad op dit forum. Satoshi heeft dit forum verlaten, en soms denk ik dat hij het perfect had zien aankomen. Je krijgt bovendien compleet absurde discussies in het Meta-forum - nochtans vaak van high-level members - die zich afvragen of je wel Merits mag kopen, en of je wel posts mag bumpen in de hoop Merits te krijgen en bla bla. Ja jongens, voor elke regel die je verzint, ga je 3000 manieren vinden om de regel te omzeilen. Dat is net het hele idee achter libertarisme en vrije markt: de pot op met je regeltjes. Ook nog wat mijn OP betreft: ik zei het eerder al, we zijn een beetje de dupe van onze eigen sterkte, nl. onze talenkennis, waardoor we vooral in het Engels bezig zijn. Maar het is helemaal niet mijn bedoeling om het Dutch forum leven in te blazen. Voor mij persoonlijk mogen jullie hieronder gerust jullie Engelstalige threads posten, en dan zal ik die al dan niet met Merits belonen. Het was alleen mijn intentie om de Merits een beetje binnen onze Nederlandstalige community te verdelen. En last but not least: laat ons die Merits ook niet serieuzer nemen dan ze zijn. Want soms, als ik dit soort topics schrijf, voel ik me echt als een klein kind behandeld, dat nog maar 1 doel in zijn leven heeft, nl. Merits scoren. Voor een paar bounty campaigns die achteraf toch scams blijken te zijn... Laat ons toch maar niet in die val trappen. |

The guy's working on his post's visibility. Give him a break. Engage him as creative marketing manager in an ICO.

This is an interesting point of view, and I think you could be right.
However, they can kill the interest of LAMBO people, but we shouldn't care about them, since these are the guys who could possibly create value bubbles.
They cannot kill belief in decentralization and crypto / BTC. This community has grown from people who had and held BTC worth less than a dollar, based purely on their beliefs and idealism. No government rules will kill this, because these guys don't care about BTC's value, only about its concept.

Looks like a lot of these panic sellers have followed my advice, after all I suppose even the strongest of weak hands have gotten out now. Bye guys! Are there any weak hands left? Can we come out now? If you've respected the one and only golden rule "Don't invest more than you can afford to lose", you had nothing to lose! And if you really - truly believe in decentralization, you don't give a damn about them government regulations! These last few months have been one hell of a rollercoaster ride! Great adventure! Looking forward to the future!!!  |

Thx xtraelv, that's quite an impressive addition. Maybe we could draw up some kind of draft, undersigned by several BTCtalk members who are also users of these exchanges, asking them to do something about their T&C. Don't know if we could find any support for this. |
